(FRANKFURT: 4Y7 OR WKN: A0M2QX) (“Plato” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that further
to its news release dated December 1, 2021, it has completed a non-brokered private placement for
aggregate gross proceeds of $150,000 (the “Offering”). The Offering consisted of 3,000,000 common
shares (“Shares”) at a price of $0.05 per Share.
The proceeds raised from the sale of the Common Shares will be used for exploration expenses and general
working capital purposes on the Company’s properties.
Certain insiders of the Company subscribed, directly or indirectly, for an aggregate of 1,500,000 common
shares pursuant to the Offering. Such participation is considered a “related party transaction” as such terms
are defined by Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special
Transactions (“MI 61-101“), requiring the Company, in the absence of exemptions, to obtain a formal
valuation for and minority shareholder approval of the “related party transactions”. The Company is relying
on an exemption from the requirement to obtain formal valuation and minority shareholder approval as the
fair market value of the participation in the Offering by the Insiders does not exceed 25% of the market
capitalization of the Company, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.
The securities issued and issuable pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four month and one day
statutory hold period. Completion of the Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited
to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and
applicable securities regulatory authorities.

in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “U.S. Securities Act”) or any state securities laws and may not
